    Brief

    CHIMERA is a planned experimental test facility designed to replicate nuclear fusion reactor conditions (excluding radiation). The THOR phase represents the initial installation of magnetic systems, including static magnets and vertical field magnets (VFM). This opportunity seeks a cryogenic cooling system capable of maintaining four cryogenic compressors that cool the static magnet infrastructure and the vertical field magnet. Suppliers should be experienced in designing and implementing reliable cryogenic cooling solutions for high-performance magnets in research environments. The cooling system must ensure continuous operation and precise temperature control to support the experimental objectives of the fusion research program.
